I turned 40 yesterday and promptly forgot my shop keys and wallet at home today. Dang it. Hope this doesn't get any worse!!! Guess it's time to start writing myself notes like I see my Dad doing. Luckily three little girls keep me feeling young. |

| | Well forty is the beginning of old age. Just wait until you wake up all sore from doing something. Then remember you had not done anything the day before to be sore over. LOL. I woke up yesterday with a sore right leg. It felt like I had pulled a muscle. All I had done the day before was catch my leg in my coveralls as I was putting them on. Now it has been sore for two days. LOL The fun of getting old. Welcome to the club. |

| Yep, your children will help you stay young. I was 29 when my first was born, and I grew up with them. LOL When they were in JR. high and high school, the wife and I would chaperone school dances and get out on the floor and dance with the rest of them. Birthdays are only numbers on the calendar, I never did pay them much attention. Kind always felt like the comedian George Burns. He said, "You can't help getting older, but you don't have to grow old!" |

| well dang, what were we just talkin about..haha when I was young and 40 I thought the end had come but after the doctor got done with his finger and told me I was enlarged I almost dropped right there, a month on antibiotics got me cleaned up and been ever since. My older brother never had his checked and found out he has the big P cancer, now it's in his bones too. He just turned 61 and got a whole other year to live now. Make sure you git it checked. Just got back from Fl visiting my ma and she is 30 year older than me at 89, still hitting on all cyldrs but we are going to miss my big brother when he goes. 40 is the time to get it checked, don't let it pass without it. yep, over the hill, good luck.

| You don't have to start "Taking Tablets". Just start carrying one and write it down. Although I didn't have to start doing that till after I turned fifty. After sixty I had to start carrying two of them. |

| Wait till those little girls are teenagers--you'll start feeling OLD. I always say we measure ourselves against the youngsters when it comes to feeling old. When there is nobody to measure against you just go do it Butttt with a measure you know when you start loosing a step. |

| | I carry notes in my shirt pocket to remind me of things I need to do. Most of the time, I forget to read the notes until it is too late. Good thing about getting older- you can remember things in your life of years ago, even if it never really happened to you. My mother-in-law has had a big case of this the last 6 or 7 years |

| Maybe it is time you started taking the tablets for memory loss....The biggest side effect of these high dosage tabs is that you have to 'remember' to take them!!!! LOL....Sam...11 years your senior. |

| I don't actually feel any older than I was when I was in high school,just know a lot more than I did then, got a lot more aches and pains and I was born in the last century and now I don't care whether or not I remember anything, what was you wanting to know about anyway, I forgot the question. |

| Sticky notes! The Mrs. and I have a pad of them in the bathroom, with a pen. Write down what each other needs to remember, and put them on the mirror. Then transfer to the car, or wherever we need to be when its important that we remember whatever it is. |

| I don't really call it forgetting. It's just that as you get older your brain has got so much more information stored to remember that it just takes longer to find it and bring it out. That's the way I figure it unless I find out someday I am wrong. |
